Chrome Shotgun Reload sound

[Bane]

I have been trying in vain to change the reload sound for the chrome shotgun, there is no gunother folder in Chrome shot, so I figured it shares the sound files of the pump shotgun, but I can't seem to change its reload sounds as I can with the pump shotgun.

Does anyone have the location of the chrome shotgun's reload sounds?

Nope, you're right. It does share the pump shotgun reloading and cycling sounds. I think they've stopped working for some reason, so you will only hear it on the pump shotgun.

[Flashyface]

did you check the update folder or wut

This info is outdated, chrome shotgun now have it own reload soundset, you can found them in pak01_dir.vpk that located in update folder

Urgh! Why? Okay, going to have to open the vpk , update the sounds and repackage it.. that was a really stupid change

So it looks like the new sounds are found in
Left 4 Dead 2/update/sound/weapons/shotgun_chrome

Theoretically you should be able to point to it building a VPK without having to break the pak01.

yeah, I found the directory, thanks. BTW it's not only the chrome shotgun, the SPAS reload sounds are also in the update sounds directory for some reason

It's the same thing for Left 4 Dead's campaign musics and so forth. The issue isn't unique to just the sounds added in TLS.

No, I can understand the music, but the chrome has been there as has the SPAS since the beginning, so there was no reason to move it now. The Gunfire Sound is still in the same place it always was, only the reload sounds were moved

As far as I recall, the chrome shotgun and SPAS didn't have gunother folders to begin with. The guns were set up to point to the shotgun and auto-shotgun sounds. Now as to why those folders have to be introduced in the update folder rather than directly added to their root folders, I couldn't say.
